Rutland Willows.
Traditional willow craftsmanship, shaped by hand.


Rutland Willows specialises in handcrafted willow sculptures made on-site using traditional methods and sustainable materials. From smaller garden pieces to larger statement sculptures, each creation is rooted in natural craftsmanship and made with a real appreciation for the character and versatility of willow.
Alongside finished pieces, Rutland Willows also offers masterclasses for those keen to learn the craft themselves. These relaxed, hands-on workshops are suitable for a range of abilities and provide the chance to create your own sculpture in a welcoming countryside setting. It is a wonderfully tactile and rewarding experience, ideal for anyone who enjoys making, learning and spending time creatively.
